Friday | Find Your Mystery Match @ Duporth Tavern (35-50) | Maroochydore

Calling all Sunny Coast singles aged 35–50 ✨

Our Matchbox AI Matching Night is back at Duporth Tavern on Friday May 22nd 🩷

This isn’t speed dating. This isn’t awkward name tags.
This is intentional, value-based matching powered by relationship science, AI and behavioural economics, with just enough mystery to keep things exciting.

With over 500,000 matches across 40+ countries, Matchbox continues to connect like-minded singles who are ready for something more meaningful.

It’s perfect if you’re looking for something that still feels relaxed and social, but slightly more facilitated than our regular bar mixers. You’ll be placed into values-aligned groups based on your questionnaire responses, creating space for both romantic sparks and genuine new friendships.

💌 How Find Your Mystery Match Works

On arrival, you’ll complete a short questionnaire designed by Matchbox’s relationship scientists and curated by your host.

The algorithm then:

✨ Analyses your values and preferences
✨ Identifies your optimal mystery match at the event
✨ Guides you through fun clue-based moments
✨ Reveals your match later in the night

You must arrive before 7:45pm to be included in the AI matching.

🥂 How the Night Unfolds

7:00pm — Doors open & mingling begins
7:45pm — Doors close, algorithm begin calculating 
7:45–8:45pm — Clues + connection moments
9pm — Mystery matches revealed 💘

💫 A Few Things to Know

• Come with an open mind — the mystery is part of the magic.
• If your match isn’t instant sparks, that’s okay. Matchbox prioritises long-term compatibility and shared values.
• Either way, you’ll meet a gorgeous group of like-minded singles in a relaxed, respectful environment.
• We aim to maintain a 50/50 gender split where possible. If numbers are uneven, some matches may be paired platonically — and in that case, you’ll receive a free ticket to a future Matchbox event of your choice.
